From the Jacksonville Morning NelUs
The Sub-Tropical enthusiasts are jubilant
over the success of their project and predict
for the concern a long life. No definite re-
ports have been turned in by the canvassing
committee, but it is said that not less than
$1,000 has been subscribed, with 81, 600 more
in sight. This does not include the $40, 900
which the committee expect to get from the
railroads. 1t is estimated that Jacksonville
win contribute from $50, 900 to one-third of
the requisite 100000. The Boards
Of Trade in tine principal cities in
the State are taking active steps
in regard to the affair, and in week or
so the committee expect to receive prom
ises of substantial aid from a number of
counties Palatka, Sanford, Orlando and
other places will contribute largely to the
concern =, 500.
The Sub-Tropical projectors feel certain
of some little aid from the Legislature and
it is understood Mr. Paine is in Tallahassee
at present at work on a bill for the State to
subscribe about $4,000.
The committe on site has a number of
offers. of desirable locations, but as yet no
action has been taken in this line 1t is
thought, however, that ground near the
water works, in Springfield, will be selected

Many valuable improvements have been
lately made in the manufacture of asbestos
paint in England. In the tests made of its
efficiency piece Of light pine wood, about
six inches long by four inches square, paint
ed with five coats, was placed for upward OF
half an hour in an ordinary CRATE fire, but,
although the wood within was reduced to
charcoal, there was no blaze whatever emit
ted during the charring.,, Again, small
model theatre, built of wood with set scenes
and accessories, was sprinkled with turpen-
tine and set on fire; ievery portion was ig-
nited and the whole was consumed A SINH

framing all painted with asbestos, was

too, but the thin scenes were only partially
charred at the lower ends with the turpen.
